-------
- * "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn".
+ * "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn". It is still there
+ in the source tree (contrib/examples) but unsupported.
Deprecation notices
* Comes with much improved gitk.
- * Comes with "git gui" 0.9.0 with i18n.
+ * Comes with "git gui" 0.9.1 with i18n.
+
+ * gitk is now merged as a subdirectory of git.git project, in
+ preparation for its i18n.
* progress display from many commands are a lot nicer to the eye.
Transfer commands show throughput data.
pairing. Earlier if more than one identical rename sources were
found in the preimage, they were picked pretty much at random.
+ * Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to
+ mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal).
+ This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto".
+
+ * HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using
+ remote.*.httpproxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration
+ variable.
+
+ * Various Perforce importer updates.
+
+ * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
+
+ * Any command that wants to take a commit object name can now use
+ ":/string" syntax to name a commit.
+
* "git reset" is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
* "git send-email" can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
--skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now
runs it for you.
+ * "git rebase --interactive" mode can now work on detached HEAD.
+
+ * "git rebase" now detaches head during its operation, so after a
+ successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} for
+ the current branch points at the commit before the rebase was
+ started.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help your repeated merges.
+
* "git merge" can call the "post-merge" hook.
* "git pack-objects" can optionally run deltification with multiple
than the usual one) after the user accumulates too many loose
objects.
+ * "git clean" has been rewritten in C.
+
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
"git clean" without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration
variable used to mean "do not require -f option to lose untracked
files", but we now use the safer default).
- * "git clean" has been rewritten in C.
+ * The kinds of whitespace errors "git diff" and "git apply" notice (and
+ fix) can be controlled via 'core.whitespace' configuration variable
+ and 'whitespace' attribute in .gitattributes file.
* "git push" learned --dry-run option to show what would happen if a
push is run.
one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do
not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side.
+ * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual
+ ":ref" refspec.
+
* "git remote" knows --mirror mode. This is to set up configuration to
push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same
branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed
* "git remote" learned "rm" subcommand.
- * "git rebase --interactive" mode can now work on detached HEAD.
-
* "git cvsserver" can be run via "git shell".
+ * "git cvsserver" acts more like receive-pack by running post-receive
+ and post-update hooks.
+
* "git am" and "git rebase" are far less verbose.
* "git pull" learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying "git
merge".
- * Various Perforce importer updates.
+ * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched
+ into your current branch.
+
+ * "git fast-export" produces datastream that can be fed to fast-import
+ to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository.
+
+ * "git add -i" takes pathspecs to limit the set of files to work on.
+
+ * "git add -p" is a short-hand to go directly to the selective patch
+ subcommand in the interactive command loop and to exit when done.
+
+ * "git add -i" UI has been colorized.
+
+ * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent
+ commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual
+ safety valve.
+
+ * "git commit --amend" can amend a merge that does not change the tree
+ from its first parent.
+
+ * "git commit" has been rewritten in C.
+
+ * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore. It was
+ a UI mistake. Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash"
+ (without extra args) for that.
+
+ * "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from
+ getting pruned.
+
+ * "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are
+ descendants of a given commit.
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive GUI
implementations.
* "git bisect" learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
+ * "git bisect visualize" learned a shorter synonym "git bisect view".
+
+ * "git bisect visualize" runs "git log" in a non-windowed
+ environments. It also can be told what command to run (e.g. "git
+ bisect visualize tig").
+
* "git format-patch" learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one commits
are formatted.
* "git ls-files" learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned set of
exclude files.
- * "git rebase" now detaches head during its operation, so after a
- successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} for
- the current branch points at the commit before the rebase was
- started.
-
* "git tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the existing
annotation message.
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" to allow
checking out a path outside the current directory without cd'ing up.
+ * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
+ information in the reflog.
+
* "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier diagnosis.
* "git merge-ours" is now built-in.
descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit
message.
- * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths which makes
- copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier.
-
- * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
- information in the reflog.
-
- * "git branch" learned --contains option, to show only branches that
- can reach a given commit.
-
- * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
-
- * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual
- ":ref" refspec.
+ * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths, which
+ makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier. The
+ traditional behaviour to show the full path relative to the top of
+ the work tree can be had by setting status.relativepaths
+ configuration variable to true.
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably
* "git svn" talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch
and project names.
+ * "git config" did not work correctly on platforms that define
+ REG_NOMATCH to an even number.
